Rust and iron stains are persistent challenges in both residential and industrial settings, particularly in regions reliant on bore water. According to research by the CSIRO, excessive iron levels in groundwater can lead to infrastructure damage and reduced water quality. Over time, iron deposits can clog water bores and leave unsightly stains on surfaces, making early intervention essential.
Understanding the Problem
Iron bacteria and mineral deposits accumulate in water bores, leading to reduced water flow and system inefficiencies. Simultaneously, iron-rich water can cause reddish-brown stains on surfaces like concrete, tiles, and metal fixtures. Traditional cleaning methods often fall short, necessitating specialised solutions.
Clearbore: The Bore Cleaner
Since 1993, Clearbore has been a trusted name in water bore maintenance. Its biodegradable formula effectively dissolves iron-related blockages, restoring optimal water flow. Regular use of Clearbore not only enhances system performance but also extends the lifespan of pumps and pipes. Moreover, its environmentally friendly composition ensures safety for both users and the ecosystem.
X-Fe: The Surface Stain Remover
Complementing Clearbore, X-Fe is designed to eliminate iron and rust stains from non-porous surfaces. Its easy application- simply spray or paint on, wait, and rinse- makes it a user-friendly choice. For porous surfaces like concrete or timber, X-Fe Forte penetrates deeper, ensuring thorough stain removal. Both products are biodegradable, aligning with sustainable practices.
